Week 12 CFB Roundtable; Views from Section 400

Each Saturday during the college football season, the guys from Section 400 will go through the top storylines heading into the monstrous slate of games.

Find out below what Section 400 writers Brian Hauch, Matt Kolen, and Jack Albanese are most intrigued about in week 10.

Dixieland Delight

This week is kind of rough because of all the senior day cupcake games before we have rivalry week next week. Besides our Washington Huskies traveling to Oregon State. What game do you have your eye on?

BH: The Tennessee Volunteers have the chance to be the first team to beat Georgia this year. Rocky Top gets the chance to host the game and while I don’t think they have the talent to pull it off, they could keep it interesting.

MK: There are a few good games I’ll have my eyes on today. In terms of playoff implications, Tennessee vs. Georgia is the most interesting. No. 10 Louisville travels to Miami to take on the Hurricanes who are favored in this one for some reason. We also have the in-state battle between Kansas and Kansas State. It’s a fun day of football!

JA: Kentucky vs South Carolina is my game of the day. The rest of this slate is buns.

Headache.

Matt and I hurt our brains coming up with scenarios for the college football playoff. Give me your projected top 4.

BH: Let’s get weird. I’ll take Michigan as my No. 1, Washington at 2, Florida State at 3, and Alabama at 4.

MK: Ohio State, Washington, Georgia, Alabama. The Tide are going to sneak their way in after winning the SEC title game.

JA: UGA, Ohio State, Washington, FSU.

So you’re saying there’s a chance

Jayden Daniels has an outside shot at a Heisman but needs to put up some video game numbers in the final 2 games. Give me his state line today vs Georgia State.

BH: Daniels is going to put up about 600 combined yards at 5 total touchdowns in this one. He won’t win the trophy because his team hasn’t been great, but he’s clearly been the best player in college football.

MK: He’s not winning the Heisman but should put up some crazy numbers today. I’ll give you 29/38 for 365 yards 4 touchdowns. That seems about right.

JA: I’m not drinking the Jayden Daniels for Hiesman Kool-Aid, but he should have no problem balling out today against Georgia State. He’ll end up somewhere around 500 total yards and 4 touchdowns.

Get this bread

Boys I need your best bet.

BH: BYU has been terrible over the last few weeks. I don’t care. The Cougars are getting 25 points at home today against Oklahoma. They’ll cover that easily.

MK: FAU let me down last week so give me Tulane -9.5 against FAU

JA: I have to ride the Section 400 squad ride future right? Washington money line to keep the Huskies’ playoff chances alive.

Longshots

As always, I need your favorite underdog.

BH: Washington is somehow a slight dog against Oregon State, but in terms of an actual underdog I like Rutgers +20 to cover in Happy Valley against Penn State.

MK: Now this is the fun part. I’ll give you two, Memphis (+280) Northwestern (+114).

JA: They have our Washington Huskies as dogs this week. Enough said.
